**There will be no school on Monday due
to the Labor Day holiday. Enjoy the long
weekend!
**Tuesday,
September 4th will be Day 1
and we will have Computers.
**This week, in Phonics, we learned the letter Ll as in lion, lemonade, and
lizard. Next
week our letter will be “O” as in octopus.
Show and tell for the letter
“O” will be on Friday. Please practice
the letters L and O at home.
**We also started math this week and everyone really enjoyed it! The class’ favorite part of the lesson is
learning the song that we sing to practice the correct way to write
numbers. Ask your child to sing the song
for you!
**In Reading,
we read the book “The Little School Bus”
and discussed characters. We also
learned 6 amazing words: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. Next week we’ll read the story “Fix It Duck” and discuss setting. We’ll also continue to practice our sight
words: I, am. Please note that your
child has an envelope of sight word flash cards in the sleeve of their
folder. These sight words should be
practiced every night but the envelope should stay in your child’s folder
because we will be adding flash cards frequently.

**Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag every day. The end of the day is hectic and some
children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
**Every
Friday of the school year is a
spirit day! This is optional but it
is done to promote school spirit and enthusiasm for our sports teams. Students are allowed to wear any North Schuylkill t-shirt and
uniform pants or uniform shorts (please see p. 5 of the student dress
code.) The children may dress in regular
uniform clothing if you wish.
**Please remember to pack a snack for your child daily.
Students may bring something to eat
and drink. If your child forgets their snack I do keep things
on hand but I can’t supply snack every day.
We have a peanut butter
allergy and a chocolate allergy in our classroom. Due to the allergies please remind your child
that we do NOT share food.
**School pictures will be taken on Friday, September 7th.
**School pictures will be taken on Friday, September 7th.
**Our class will shop at the Scholastic
Book Fair on Wednesday,
September 12th. More
information will be sent home.
**Book orders were sent home at Meet the
Teacher. Orders are due by Friday, September 14th.
**Kindergartens tend to have accidents at
school every now and then. They spill
something or don’t make it to the bathroom in time and they need a change of
clothes. If you would like to send in a spare set of clothes for your
child to let in their cubby (locker) please put the clothes in a bag and label
it with your child’s name. Also, we
paint a lot and do other messy projects.
If you would like to send in an
old t shirt for your child to put over their clothes when we are working on
art projects put it in a separate bag and label it art shirt.
**We had a fabulous first week of Kindergarten and I am thrilled to have your
child in my class! I hope that he/she
enjoyed their first week as much as I did and are looking forward to returning
to school on Tuesday!!!!
